Why is it two people living in the same world with the same set of circumstances, can experience life so differently? Are you aware of how powerful a creator you are? Believe it or not, everything that has happened in your life or is happening now is in direct correlation with your thoughts and belief systems? Take an inventory of your life. You are probably confident and happy in some area while lacking and unfulfilled in others. Why is that? Every one of us has the ability to change any aspect of our life if we are willing to change our thoughts, beliefs and actions- it is then we can experience true cha4F4nge.
The Universal Law of Attraction states you attract to your life whatever you give attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted. Simply put, like attracts like. We draw to ourselves energies similar to the "vibration" (feeling or mood) we put out. If you dwell on negative thoughts, you create negative feelings and you attract negative people and circumstances. In contrast, if you maintain positive thoughts and feelings you will attract positive people and opportunities to your life. Everyone has this field of energy around them attracting and repelling people and circumstances. When we begin to grasp the concept of "vibrational output," we can consciously choose our thoughts, feelings, words and actions in order to deliberately create the quality of life we desire. We can choose something positive or something negative. This is the experience of becoming a conscious and responsible "creator" of our world. This takes practice, but cultivating and mastering this awareness will affect our entire LIFE.
Last week I heard peak performance guru, Tony Robbins, illustrate a story about 8 time Grand Slam Tennis Champion, Andre Agassi. Andre came to Tony for help when he could not break a losing streak. Tony showed 5ADhim video clips when he was at the top of his game pointing out his physiology and the strength and clear confidence he showed walking onto the court. He asked Andre, "What were you thinking in that moment?" Andre said, "I looked at my opponent and I thought, why did you even bother to show up, I am going to demolish you." Then Tony showed him a clip of his physiology walking onto the court during his losing streak. It was in total contrast, walking slow, head down, shoulders slumping and Tony asked him, "What he was thinking in that moment?" Andre answered, "Well I was thinking I was going to get creamed and how embarrassing it would be." In both cases, it all played out as Andre thought it would. The game was over before it begun. Once Andre got back in alignment with his power of focus on winning and replicating all the physiology of a winner, he regained his status as the #1 player in the world.
One of Tony's instant life transforming lessons is "By altering your body's physiology, you can achieve an immediate change in your emotional state. The mind will follow whatever state your physical body is in and not vice-versa."
I use several different tools to support my clients in shifting their state of mind and begin to transform their life. Below are five simple steps to change your thoughts and emotions by changing your physiology:
1. Become aware of your state of mind in the moment.
5BB
Notice what you are focusing on and how you are perceiving things. Are you in a negative frame of mind? Notice your thoughts and emotions are in the same vibration.
2. Bring that awareness into your physical body.
Are you hunched over or slouched? Do you have any tension in your shoulders, back, stomach or legs? Are your eyebrows furrowed? Are you frowning? Are you tired?
3. Make the connection.
Notice the relationship between what you are thinking and feeling and your physical posture, muscle tension, tightness in your stomach, etc.
4. Right now stand up and start to move around.
Jump up and down as high as you can in one spot, shaking out your hands and fingers at the same time. Raise your hands above your head as if you're jumping in celebration. Add some "hollers" and "cheers." Jump around wherever you are for as little as 30 seconds and as much as five or ten minutes. Maybe even put on some music if you can. Other options could be dancing to loud music (dance like no one is watching), go for a jog, or do some yoga-whatever gets you up and changes your state of emotions.
5. Stop and notice where you are and take one immediate action.
When you stop take a moment to notice how your thoughts, emotions and physical posture have changed. Also be mind59Cful they are still inter-connected and inter-dependent, then take one immediate action in opposition to your previous "low vibration funk" using your newly created high performance energy state. And, always remember to be grateful in that moment as well.
Tony Robbins says that "motion puts the 'e' in emotion" and by physically changing our state we can instantaneously shift into a positive state of mind to create deliberately with focus and intent.
I invite you to print this article or write down these 5 steps to changing your thoughts and emotions. Do this exercise right now to create an anchoring point so in any moment you know how to change your state and transform yourself from a negative place to a positive one. Then acknowledge yourself for taking an empowering action.
